A decision guide for separating sudden wind issues from age-related roof wear.
Decision points
What actually changes the answer.
Wind damage often appears as lifted, creased, torn, or missing shingles tied to exposure.
Old shingles often show brittle edges, curling, cracking, or uniform granule loss.
Older roofs can still have valid storm damage, so both conditions should be documented.
Best for Age evaluation
Best when the roof shows widespread material fatigue or repeated leak history.
